Today we are joining Kathy at A Delightsome Life. Go visit there and get ready to read about some yummified dishes to try!

The phone rang and it was the happiest news ever!

My brother-in-law, who makes fabulous Lebanese dishes, called to invite us to dinner. He had cooked an abundance of Lebanese food so he had extra. Would we like to come?

"Would we? Are you kidding?," I thought. Woo hoo. That was the best news I had all day. Not only would I be spared from cooking dinner, going to my bro-in-law's house meant eating delicious Lebanese food. Mmm mmm mm

"Sure," I said. "You want us to come over NOW?"

"In an hour," came the reply. Already I was looking for my shoes to run out of the house!

Everything, and I mean every single thing on the menu, was top notch. That guy could be a Lebanese chef and make a million.

Then came "sfeeha." Now this was my first time trying this delicious dish. There was ground meat, (either beef or lamb can be used), onions, pine nuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Everything is sauteed and then stuffed into pita bread. I tell you, I wanted to stuff ME with "sfeeha."

The "m'zshruddra, " a mixture of lentils, rice, and onions, also with spices added, was "mwah!"

I do love a good taboulleh. There was a Lebanese lady who used to live in the building we were in when I first came to Kuwait and she would make the lentil dish you mentioned here. Boy was it good, eaten with heated pita bread. I make rice and lentils (mujadrah) a lot, served with fatoush and plain yogurt. Yum! Have a great rest of the day. Tammy
